The damage and failure mechanism of quasi-brittle materials is the most fundamental research topic in Damage Mechanics. In this paper, the mesoscopic damage mechanism of concrete under uniaxial tension was discussed. The rupture and yield damage modes in meso-scale were introduced as the two basic parameters to define the damage accumulated variable. The results show that the proposed statistical damage model can accurately predict the whole deformation and failure process of concrete under uniaxial tension, including the two-stage deformation characteristics and the size effect.

A Damage mechanics finite element numerical computation method was established based on HLC microscopic damage model to solve the problem of damage, crack initialization and growth inside bore during the firing process. The damage and failure process of the bore surface was simulated numerically during multiple rounds of firing. The law of the barrel material performance changing with the number of firing rounds was analyzed during the engraving process of the driving band and compared with the experimental results. It is proved that HLC microscopic damage model can show the complicate damage behavior and predict the cracking defect, which provides a reference for safety design of the gun barrel.

The cumulative damage of the reinforced concrete (RC) crane girders occurred by overload, fatigue and other reasons in service may deteriorate the safety of RC crane girders seriously, so it is necessary to analyze the damage mechanism and rationally reinforce them in good time. In this paper, RC crane girder strengthened with CFRP strips is taken as a target, and the mechanical performance degradation under fatigue load is studied. According to the basic theory of continuum damage mechanics, a damage variable is defined by flexural rigidity, and fatigue- cumulative damage model, which describes the process of damage and fracture, is established. The variation law of cumulative damage of RC crane girders strengthened with FRP strips under crane load is discussed, and the failure patterns such as concrete cracking, debonding between CFRP strips and concrete, yield of steel bars etc., are studied. The criterion which can be used to estimate the cumulative damage degree of strengthened RC crane girders is proposed. Finally, the evolution of the fatigue damage in the RC crane girders strengthened with CFRP strips is numerically simulated, and the results show that the proposed model can correctly describe the damage and failure process of strengthened RC crane girders. The research will provide a reference for the damage analysis and reinforcement of RC crane girders strengthened with CFRP strips.

Abstract Coal and gas outburst is the result of comprehensive action of in-situ stress, gas and mechanical properties of coal rock. The coupling effect of loading and gas adsorption eventually leads to the coal rock failure. Based on the principle of strain equivalence and considering the coupling effect of gas adsorption and stress loading, an adsorption-loading coupling damage model is established which breaks through the bottleneck of only considering single influencing factor. Taking briquette samples with controllable properties as the research object, uniaxial compression tests of coal rock at different gas adsorption pressures are carried out, and the model is verified based on the test results. The results of model calculation and tests show that the meso damage stage of coal body can well correspond to the macroscopic deterioration phenomenon and it is in good agreement with the stress-strain curve. It is proved that the model has good applicability and can accurately describe the damage and failure process of coal rock.

Abstract A VUMAT user material subroutine for the Lemaitre continuous damage mechanics model was developed based on the finite element solver ABAQUS/Explicit platform to investigate the deformation and failure behavior of 5052 aluminum alloy. The mechanical property parameters and damage parameters of 5052 aluminum alloy were identified by the inversion method combining tensile test and finite element simulation. The numerical simulation results showed that the force-displacement curves predicted by the established damage model were in good agreement with the experimental measurement, and the fracture location was close to the experimental results, which verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the damage parameters. The growth and distribution law of damage variable could be intuitively represented by the simulation results by the Lemaitre damage model.

A stochastic damage constitutive model is proposed based on Kelvin spring-damper model and Li Jie spring stochastic damage model. The model is made up by microscopic spring-slipper element. The slipper, parallel connected with spring, is introduced to consider the plasticity effect of concrete. Damage failure process of concrete subjected uniaxial tension is divided into spring broken state and slipper broken state to describe the elastic stage and plastic stage of damage respectively. In the light of energy conservation during the process of damage failure, stochastic damage constitutive equation of concrete material subjected to uniaxial tension stress is derived. Comparisons between test results and theoretical calculation results verify that the established constitutive damage equations are accord with the experimental situation, and the experimental data are observed undulated with theoretical curve in the range of variance. The research results can apply in the actual engineering.

Damage mechanics is introduced into the fire response calculation of the concrete structure. The damage mechanics equations for fire response calculation are established. They are the damage evolution equation based on “residual strength” theory, heat conduction equations, and elastic mechanical equations. The fire response calculation of a concrete slab under external load and fire is shown. ANSYS is selected for calculating. The temperature field and stress field are obtained, the damage and failure process are described using the technique of killing or activating elements in ANSYS, and the fire resistance of the slab is obtained.

With complex mechanics character and under the action of compression and tension in tri-direction, rock will show coupled plastic-damage mechanism as its basic character. Phenomenological coupled elastic-plastic-damage constitutive model with internal variable is proposed based on thermal mechanics theory, elastic law and macro damage mechanics. Numerical experiments on this model and analyze the model character. The result shows that the coupling model could realize rocks softening behavior brought about by damage and strength enlargement caused by confining pressure increasing.

Based on the assumption of quasibrittle failure under high-cycle fatigue for the metal material, the damage constitutive equation and the modified damage evolution equation are obtained with continuum damage mechanics. Then, finite element method (FEM) is used to describe the failure process of metal material. The increment of specimen’s life and damage state can be researched using damage mechanics-FEM. Finally, the lifetime of the specimen is got at the given stress level. The damage mechanics-FEM is inserted into ABAQUS with subroutine USDFLD and the Python language is used to simulate the fatigue process of titanium alloy specimens. The simulation results have a good agreement with the testing results under constant amplitude loading, which proves the accuracy of the method.

The deformation and damage characteristics of surrounding rock grow gradually with the increase of mining depth, and the mechanical behavior and damage mechanism of coal–rock materials vary greatly. In order to reveal the deformation and damage dynamic characteristics of coal–rock materials in deep mines, the macroscopic deformation characteristics of coal, rock, and concrete samples under uniaxial compression were studied. The macroscopic deformation amount, velocity, and acceleration of different samples were analyzed. The coal and rock samples exhibit regular dynamic characteristics before they lose stability and fail. The axial strain response of the coal samples changes significantly during the compact and elastic deformation stages. Besides, the relationship between the surface damage and the macroscopic deformation of sample was studied by means of visualization and image processing. The macroscopic deformation index of coal–rock materials changes significantly before and after the destabilization and failure. Based on the deformation and failure dynamic characteristics of coal and rock, the evolution rule of deformation critical values was taken as the deformation and destruction stages, which revealed the dynamic characteristics during the deformation and failure process of coal–rock materials in deep mines. The deformation critical values can be used to realize early warning of deformation and fracture of coal and rock materials in deep mines.

Deformation response and failure process of a spot welded joint are investigated in this study. For this purpose, a cross-tension spot welded joint sample made of dual phase steel sheets (DP600) is prepared and tensile tested to failure. Complementary FE simulation of the test is performed. The FE model acknowledges the variation of properties across the spot welded region. Rice-Tracey ductile damage model is approximated and employed in the simulation. Close comparison of load-displacement curves and deformed shape with measured values serve as validation of the FE model. Results show that FE simulation with damage-based model adequately predicts tensile deformation and failure of the spot welded joint. Tensile failure of the joint is confined to the heat affected zone and heat affected/fusion zone interface of the joint. Localized through-thickness necking of the sheet metal is captured. In addition, the predicted fracture of the spot welded joint is accompanied by localized extensive plastic deformation.
